Heh.. that would be a pretty big assumption. The previous post indicated
"those making less than $65K" vs. "the rich."
Again, the assertion was the cap gains rate only benefits the rich. I
guarantee you there are a lot of people around here who are not rich
and benefit from this
a few. but MOST middle class people do NOT report most of their
income on 1099. they report it on w2.
that is they work for a living.
NOW you right wingers are saying all americans are retired.
perhaps you have the unemployed that you right wingers caused confused
with retired folks
No, it is only about 90 million of us. The baby boomers are all either
retired or planning to be retired soon. The generation older than them
is retired. A simple fact is old people are a whole lot more
politically active than the rest of society. They may not be blogging
and putting bumper stickers n their cars but they do actually show up
at the polls. That is why the law is the way it is.
BTW I am not really a right winger. I may be to the left of you on
some issues.
I don't know where you're getting your numbers, but most baby boomers will
be working for 10+ years, even longer now probably due to the recession and
diminution of their savings. Most baby boomers didn't save much, besides.
